7. This moment that feels so true to my crazy little family, including the begging. And yes, the duck came, too. And seriously, why do they always talk me into getting the big, unweildy truck cart? Because they NEVER ride in it. Obviously.

BONUS: Know what I don't love? Stink bugs. If you have no idea what these are, thank your lucky stars. But, seriously, if I get dive-bombed one more time while reading in my bed, or sitting here working at my desk, I may just cry. I'm sorry, but I can't find any reason to be grateful for stink bugs.

The stink bugs in my area are definitely getting worse. This is compounded by the fact that my almost 7 year old INSISTS that we not "dispose" of them. Anytime he finds one, he catches it and lets it go outside. While I find this sweet, anytime we catch them they either go in the toilet or down to the bathtub/brooder where our chicks quickly take care of them.

Oh my goodness we are being infested with stink bugs this year!! We NEVER see them in our house and they are now here all the time and I can't figure out why or how. I didn't even know they could fly! At night I will go into my bathroom to brush my teeth and they wait for me and fly down all around me. I do not like them either!! I love the store photo by the way!
